Lightroom contains a number of tasks that can utilize a decent number of CPU cores, but with Intel’s new CPUs you can now have up to 18 physical cores on a single consumer CPU. Can Lightroom actually make use of all these additional cores?

Photoshop may not be the best use case for these new 14, 16, and 18 core CPUs from Intel, but just how much worse are they compared to their lower core count counterparts?

For years, After Effects has struggled to utilize high core count CPUs effectively. Will this hold true for the new 14, 16, and 18 core Intel CPUs, or will they give us a surprise?

With up to 18 physical cores, Intel’s new Skylake-X CPUs are very impressive from a technological perspective. Can Premiere Pro put all those cores to use, or would you be better off with a lower cost processor with fewer cores?

Intel has launched new, higher core count Skylake-X processors. Can they take back the performance crown from AMD’s Threadripper in Cinebench?
Sometimes you find excellent customer service in the most unlikely places. That’s what I’d like to tell you about today.
Just over four years ago, I left the state of Washington for the desert of southern Utah. In addition to trading the mild Seattle climate for the scorching summers of Utah, I was now on the hook to pay state income tax. Washington finds a way to get their pound of flesh through higher sales and property taxes, but completing my end-of-year accounting was easier in Washington because all I had to worry about was Federal taxes.

We are currently researching a fix for the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR when using Adobe software on an Gigabyte x299 and Skylake-X processors.

Performance testing on a wide range of Intel and AMD processor options to see how they compare in Autodesk ReMake. Comparison to “online” (cloud) processing and a look at system memory usage are also included.
Over the years, I’ve used Google Chrome as my default browser more than any competitor. A couple of times I ran into issues with a build and switched to Firefox, but that didn’t last more than a few months.
I can’t think of of trending field of scientific research that has ever been better suited for “beginners” than Machine Learning and AI. Even though the field has been around for decades it feels like day one. There is now a perfect convergence of resources to facilitate the learning and doing of Machine Learning.
